Cuatronaranjos Murcia Active School is a small bilingual school in the city of Murcia, at Calle Alcalde Gaspar de la Peña 27, offering infant and primary education. It opened about ten years ago and follows an active, child-centred approach that the school describes as based on scientific evidence, neuroscience, active methodologies and emotional education. The school's website refers to NEASC and to a double qualification, without giving further details.
About half of school time is in English: each group has two tutors, one who speaks Spanish and one who speaks English. The school states that it meets the objectives of the official curriculum, but content is taught through projects and real experiences, and much learning happens outdoors.
- Infant education: free play and exploration
- Primary: projects, challenges and autonomy, with art, music and English
- Transition preparation for secondary school in the last two years of primary
Homework is not used as a rule. The school offers an early-morning service, home-cooked lunches and after-school activities. Pupils can join any year if places are available; admission includes a family interview, meeting the child and an assessment of the child's English.
